Ideally, it should be kept below <strong>2.5 seconds<\/strong>. <\/li>\n<li><strong>First Input Delay (FID)<\/strong> &#8211; Evaluates how quickly a page responds to the first user interaction, such as clicking a button or link. It should be less than <strong>100 milliseconds<\/strong>. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)<\/strong> &#8211; Measures the visual stability of the page, preventing elements from moving unexpectedly. An optimal value is less than <strong>0.1.<\/strong> <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>These metrics are part of Google&#8217;s algorithm and directly affect a site&#8217;s ranking in search results.
